Roasted Grape and Thyme Scones


I love scones. I love eating them, of course, and they are one of my favorite things to bake. And, I love trying new combinations of ingredients for making scones.

When I came across the original version of this recipe for Roasted Grape and Thyme Scones in the April issue of Better Homes and Gardens, I knew I had to make them. I love fresh herbs in baked goods and thought the combination with roasted grapes sounded wonderful. Indeed it is.

Roasting Grapes

I love roasting grapes, which caramelizes their sugars and brings out their juicy sweetness. So, even if you have a bunch of grapes that are on the tart and/or sour side, they will be delicious and sweet when roasted. Grapes that are already sweet on their own, are wonderful roasted too.

When I came across the original verison of this recipe for Roated Grape and Thyme Scones, I had a bunch of grapes in my refridgerator that were too tart and sour to enjoy on their own. I was already planning to roast them and was delighted to find a new recipe to incorporate them into.

The original recipe calls for rosemary, with thyme as a suggested alternative. As thyme is one of my favorite herbs and since I has some fresh thyme on hand, thyme was the way I chose to go.

These Roasted Grape and Thyme Scones turned out beautifully, the thyme complements the roasted grapes so nicely and the scones are soft and delicious.
